Support for ADHD Women Who Want Real, Sustainable Change

Offered in Minnesota, Colorado, Wisconsin

Life, work, and relationships can feel overwhelming when you’re an ADHD woman navigating a world that wasn’t built for how your brain works.

You may be capable, intelligent, and deeply caring—yet still feel scattered, behind, or exhausted by how hard everything seems to be.

A Nervous System–Informed Approach to ADHD Support

That’s exactly why support for ADHD women matters so deeply.

With the right kind of support—trauma-informed, nervous-system-aware, and grounded in real life—you can move out of constant overwhelm and into clarity, confidence, and forward momentum that actually lasts.

Overcome the Hidden Obstacles
ADHD Women Face

Many ADHD women don’t struggle because they lack motivation or discipline.

They struggle because they’ve spent years masking, over-functioning, people-pleasing, and pushing themselves to fit into neurotypical expectations—often at the cost of their nervous system and self-trust.

You might recognize yourself here:

  • Overflowing with ideas but too burned out to bring them to life

  • Juggling everything and still missing details or deadlines

  • Starting projects with excitement, then getting pulled into the next thing

  • Feeling stuck, scattered, or frozen despite wanting change

  • Struggling with visibility, confidence, or fear of being “too much”

  • Living in cycles of pressure, perfectionism, and last-minute stress

This is not a personal failure

It’s a sign you need support for ADHD women that works with your brain—not against it.

What It’s Like to Receive Support
as an ADHD Woman

Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and unsure if anything will really help.

Here’s what they often discover instead:

  • A sense of choice and agency returns
  • Their body begins to feel safer and calmer
  • Overwhelm softens instead of controlling everything
  • Focus and follow-through become more accessible
  • Self-trust replaces self-criticism

This work isn’t about fixing you.

It’s about giving you the support for ADHD women that helps you work with your nervous system, not against it.

What My Clients Say

“Jen is one of the most compassionate and empathic people I have ever met.

She is a skilled listener, and her responses are intelligent, intuitive, and affirming.

I have learned so much about myself and the world around me because of her willingness to be real and share from her own life experiences.

Jen has created for me, a safe place within which I have been able to heal and learn how to trust again.”
~ Therapy client
"This has been transformative for me.

I am really believing I have a choice and can make choices for myself. It's helped me really get more in touch with what my body is telling me - those feelings.

I now know it's not all in my head. My body has things to say - my intuition. I don't have to know because the body does the work.

It does matter to be consistent with it {TCTSY} even if you just lay on your mat {during class}, to give it an opportunity to work."
~ Mary, TCTSY participant
"After being in therapeutic treatment with Jen for years, I can confidently say that working with Jen has been one of the most profoundly impactful decisions I have made for myself.

She is a thoughtful listener, full of insight, and guides her clients in a way that is refreshing and empowering.

Since being in treatment with her I have taken control and agency over my own life, immersed myself lovingly in my creative projects, and even had the courage to start my own business. I cannot express my gratitude enough."
~ Therapy Client

Meet Jen Barnes — 25+ Years Supporting Women

Licensed Clinical Social Worker with Lived ADHD Experience

Hi, I’m Jen.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 25 years in the mental health field—and I wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until adulthood.

I know firsthand what it’s like to mask, over-function, and feel the exhaustion of trying to fit into a world that doesn’t match your wiring.

From Over-Functioning to Nervous System Safety

I also know what it feels like to finally experience freedom inside your ADHD—to regulate your nervous system, rebuild self-trust, and create a life that works with your mind instead of against it.

That lived experience shapes how I support ADHD women today.

Trauma-Informed, Nervous System–First Support for ADHD Women

My work is trauma-informed, nervous-system-aware, and grounded in compassion rather than pressure or “push harder” strategies.

I focus on helping women move out of survival mode and into clarity, confidence, and self-respect in ways that are sustainable and humane.

Experience You Can Trust

I’ve supported hundreds of women in moving out of chronic overwhelm and into lives that feel steadier, more connected, and more aligned.

I would be honored to support you, too.

Is This the Right Kind of Support for You?

Who This Support Is Designed For

The support I offer is best suited for ADHD women who are:

  • Ready for real change, not quick fixes
  • Willing to explore patterns with curiosity and compassion
  • Looking for tools that feel humane and sustainable
  • Tired of white-knuckling life alone

If that resonates, you’re in the right place.
You don’t have to do this alone.
